A large numbers of members turned out for the opening of our exhibition in Bellshill Culture Centre.
The membership is well represented with sixteen of our members displaying prints on a varied number of subjects from Wildlife, Portraiture to Landscapes etc.
The evening was free and tea and coffee was provided by the council. We are very grateful to the staff for all their help in hanging the prints.
We are also indebted to The Scottish Photographic Society for the use of their frames which all the members thought showed off their prints really well.
